Curriculum

The Dietetics Program, also known as a Didactic Program in Dietetics,
or DPD, is a four-year program, which has been granted full
accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition
and Dietetics of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The
curriculum meets the knowledge, skills, and competencies for
entry-level dietitian education programs and will result in a
Bachelor's of Science Degree in Dietetics. Following completion of the
degree, students need to apply and get accepted into an accredited
dietetics internship. Upon completion of an internship and the
successful completion of the national registration examination, you
will be a registered dietitian, eligible for licensure in most
states.

If you pursue this major, you will take courses
in mathematics, chemistry, biology, nutrition, and food science, as
well as classes that will focus on developing your management and
communication skills. Your course work will include supervised
hands-on experiences.

To successfully complete the
program you must meet the University's and College of Education and
Human Development's general education requirements, the program major
courses, and supportive required courses.
